**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The quantum coherence disruption hypothesis proposes that neurodegeneration results from interference with quantum coherent networks that facilitate long-range cellular communication within neural tissues. At the molecular level, this mechanism centers on the microtubule protein TUBB3 (β-tubulin III), which forms the structural backbone of microtubules in neuronal cells. TUBB3 differs from other tubulin isoforms through its unique C-terminal domain and spec

**SASP-Mediated Complement Cascade Amplification in Alzheimer's Disease** **Overview: Senescence, Inflammation, and Synaptic Loss** Cellular senescence—a state of irreversible growth arrest accompanied by a pro-inflammatory secretome—accumulates dramatically with age and in Alzheimer's disease. Senescent astrocytes and microglia secrete the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), a cocktail of cytokines, chemokines, proteases, and critically, complement cascade initiators including C
